Brookdale Dowlen Oaks provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to individualized care plans that can adapt as needs change. The community is prepared to manage conditions such as wandering at any hour, elopement risk, nighttime wakefulness, oxygen therapy, and diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication or insulin injections. Care teams are also trained to support advanced dementia, allowing residents to remain in place even as cognitive challenges progress.

Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24/7, background-checked caregivers who stay awake through the night, and layered safety measures that include wander guards, fenced outdoor areas, emergency pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. Residents have access to speech and occupational therapy, hospice and incontinence care, and ongoing medication management without leaving the building. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they accommodate a broad range of mobility needs—from standby help for walkers to two-person and Hoyer-lift transfers.

Apartments are designed for ease of use, with options that may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and routine housekeeping. Not every unit contains every feature, so families can select the layout that best matches their budget and preferences.

Meals are prepared to order, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team can honor specialized diets such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, or thickened-liquid plans, and they coordinate with clinical staff to ensure nutritional requirements align with physicians’ directives.

Residents benefit from on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, high-speed internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation supports medical appointments and local errands, while the staff continues to oversee medication management. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
